LONDON, May 16--The financial secre-
tary of India has advised the government
of the discovery of IN immense amount
of treasure, estimated at over $25, 600, 900,
which had been seGreted in the Palace Of
Gwalior by the late Maharajah. The
treasure had been sunk in pits, under the
vaults beneath the banana, and the secret
was entrusted to few confidential ser
wants. The secretary was present when
the treasure was unearthed. After remov-
ing the earth to depth Of six feet the
workmen uncovered great hagstones.
Beneath these stones were several pits
filed to the brini with silver, chiefly
freshly coined rupees. In each pit was
plate recording the amount of the treas
ure and the names of the officials who
had assisted in secreting it. The Indian
government has taken the hoard as loan
from the young Maharajah. The native
papers protest against this action of the
government.

Tho New York Fruit Growers at
War with tho Commission Men.

War with tn0 Communication Men.
NEwBURe, N. Y, May 15.-Fruit
growers all along the Hudson river be-
tween Cornwall and Oatslrill, distance
of oyer GO miles, are angry with the com
mission men in New York City who
expect to act as middlemen between the
producers and consumers this summer.
Every variety Of fruit will yield enor-
mously. The indications are that the
first consignments of strawberries will be
ready for shipment is days hence. Oar
ing the past two weeks committees of
fruit growers have waited upon the
agents, asking that they sither reconsider
their ultimatnm that much of
this seasons fruit yield must be
shipped in non-returnable crates,
usually designated as gift pack
ages, or else that the commission
men should agree 60 lower schedule of
carriage rates, and TO o decrease in the
amounts OF commission received. Several
Of the committees were informed that the
agents could not afford to lower rates.
Other firms asked for time to consider the
matter, and they decided yesterday after
noon that ii would be impossible for them
to make any concessions whatever. Fruit
growers here and there along the Hudson
received word TO the effect by rail TO. day
and they propose, like the peach growers
in Delaware, to do this, that, and the
other thing.
1t is pointed out that fruit-growers
exchange could easily be organized in |
New York, and il what come of the |
fruit-producers say is fair criterion to |
go by an exchange may be formed, aud |
very soon at thnt From the growers |
point of view the commissioner have |
things all ia their own hands. The fruit |
Is shipped to them and they make weekly |
returns, after deducting 10 per cent com
mission and the amount of the freightage |
and carriage. The shipper receives o |
eheque for thu. balance. The grower |
does mot know who buys bis fruit. as
the agents never give names, nor does
he know what it sells for. He has TO trust
to the agents honesty. Il is understood |
that q number of growera have |
made private arrangements with |
several firms, and that the gewburg,
Poughkeepsie, Oatskill, and other lines 4
of steamers have agreed TO carry the |
fruit more cheaply than formerly, where /
non. returnable packages are used. The |
fruit industry along the Hudson river is |
now vast one, and il the New York |
commission men, by forming a Soon
bine," can force the growers to ship
much of their products in gift crates, it |
will necessitate an outlay of thousands |
of dollars, not only this season but in
every season following. Up to date all |
kinds of baskets and crates have been re.
turned free, and where even one was lost |
the commission men have had to pay for
it. The fruit growers intend to make
bitter fight.

GEoRaErowN, May lS.--Georgetown
had another fire this morning, the largest
here for years. Just after o'clot K the
alarm was sounded and soon the streets
were filed with people. The fire origi-
mated in B. w. Warren's grocery store,
ON Bedford street, q block and half
from the public square.
The fire was discovered by r. W. Tor
bert who lives next door, and the whole
house inside was IN flames before any one
reached the scene. II burned 80 rapidly
that in few minutes the flames had
spread to Mrs. Wipgate's residence on
the one side and Mr.. Il. W. Torbert's on
the other.
It was evident In the absence OF any
fire apparatus that both these properties
must 60, and attention was turned TO
saving the furniture and protecting the
adjoining buildings. AL the furniture
was gotten out except that in the garrett,
though, of course, some of II was dam
aged.
The night was perfectly calm and by
hard work the residence of A. p. Robin
son, Esq, which adjoins Mrs. Wingate's
house, and the other properties near were
saved.
Mrs. Wingate has no insurance and lost
her all in her house. A subscription fer
her relief has been started. Mr.. Torbert
is insured in the Kent County Mutual for
81 900. His residence could not be re-
placed for 81 500. Mr.. Warren bad $3.50
insurance in the same company. Bis loss
is $500 exclusive of his books which were
destroyed.
The fire is believed to have been of in
cendiary origin, and having been robbed
before il was fired. The people are very
indignant over the occurrence of such an
act.
The necessary amount for fire ap-
paratus had not been subscribed, and the
matter has been quietly Numbering for
few weeks, one cause being the indif-
ference as manifested in the small sub
scriptions by some of the largest prop
erty-owners and leading citizens. The
fire will guarantee the much needed and
long talked of fire apparatus, however.

And the Lawsuit sD which IL Has

New BRUNSWICK, N. j., May ia
hearing began yesterday before Master in
Ohancery Boice that involves the right TO
q good sized fortune and gives the Pc
culiar complications resulting from the
marriage of q woman to her husbands
grandson. A few years before his death
Captain William Boylan married young
and handsome girl, hardly one fourth as
old himself. They lived happily together
and child was born short time before
Boylan's death, some years ago. The
young lady was the captains third wife.
Her predecessors had left him large and
unruly family, now scattered far
and wide. Boylan's will provided
that after certain legacies to his
children were paid the widow
should have possession OF the property,
valued, it is said, at nearly 300, 900,
while she remained unmarried. After
her marriage, if IL ever occurred, the
money was to go TO Boylan's numerous
children.
The captain had handsome grandson,
named James Ryan, who soon laid siege
to the heart of the widow. They were
married by priest of st. Peters Church,
whom they kept in ignorance of their re-
lationship. As soon as the priest learned
that he had solemnized such a marriage
he laid the facts before the bishop, who
caused the couple to be separated. The
present suit Ia brought by the guardian
of Thomas Boylan's children to obtain
rents from George Deinzer, an occupant
of one of the houses on the estate.
These rents have been paid to the cap
tain's widow. The decision in the case
will settle dispute as to the ownership Of
all the property, it being claimed that as
Mrs. Boylan's marriage was never legal it
did not take from her her interest in the
egtate

CAPTAIN oRA WFosD's DEATH.
The Explanation Given OF the Affair
by the Mexican Authorities.

The Explanation Given OF tine Affair
by the Mexican AuGh0rtstess
CHICAGO, May IA special to the
Daily Ne,rs from the City Of Mexico says
Senior Mariscal the Mexican minister OF
foreign affairs, has addressed q letter 10
the United States legation in answer TO
several communications from Mr.. Jack
son, the former minister from the United
States, giving the results of an
official investigation by the Mexi
can government into the circumstances
of the killing Of Captain Crawford
of the United States army, Fourth cavalry,
by bodyof Mexican troops while he was
in pursuit of band of Apache Indians.
Senior Mariscal states that the shooting
was done by party of 100 volun-
teers raised by Maurice Oorredor, q
citizen of chihuahua, to protect his
property from the depredations Of the
msrauding Apaches. The scene and in
cidents of the fight are described. Cor.
redor and four other Mexicans were
killed. The firing was stopped as soon
as the Mtxicans ascertained that they
were fighting United States troops and
not hostile Indians. Senior Mariscal seys /:
Indians who were attacked on that day
are the same who committed the raids
mentioned on Mexican territory. They
were dressed just like the hostile Indians
and had in their possession the stolen
cattle which they refused to restore, not
withstanding formal demand was made
forit by the Mexicans. It is not true that
Capt Crawford waved whitehandkerchief
when the fight began. The Americans
wore no uniforms or insignia of any
character whatever, nor did they sh W
any proof of being what they represented
themselves to be, except single scrap of
paper written upon with pencil.
The cattle found in the possession of
the Indians was recognized by the
Mexicsns as belonging to some farmers in
chihuahua. from whom they had been
stolen. The agreement allowing the
regular troops only Of either country to
cross the boundary in pursuit of hostile
Indians did not contemplate that Indians
without uniforms or other military in
sigma should come into Mexico, where
they have committed so many raids, and
then succeeded in returning to their
reservations as innocent men and fed and
clothed by the United States govern
ment.

EXPRESS ROBBER RaTGHr.
A Question of JarisdlctAon Has Been
RRtsed.

ST. LOUIS, May ia special from
jefferson City, Mo-, says it is definitely
learned that an effort will be made soon
to have William Haight, one of the
Frisco express robbers, released from
prison on the ground that the court from
which he was sentenced had no jurisdic-
ton. Haight has written to Thomas
Harvey of st. Louis to take the case. 1t
seems that the main objection in the way
of the release is the fact that he entered
the plea of guilty; for following out the
ruling of the st. Louis court in the Foth-
eringham case there can be no question
as to an absence of jurisdiction.
